Currently, if you want to properly chroot a systemd service, you could
do it using BindReadOnlyPaths=/nix/store (which is not what I'd call
"properly", because the whole store is still accessible) or use a
separate derivation that gathers the runtime closure of the service you
want to chroot. The former is the easier method and there is also a
method directly offered by systemd, called ProtectSystem, which still
leaves the whole store accessible. The latter however is a bit more
involved, because you need to bind-mount each store path of the runtime
closure of the service you want to chroot.
This can be achieved using pkgs.closureInfo and a small derivation that
packs everything into a systemd unit, which later can be added to
systemd.packages. That's also what I did several times[1][2] in the
past.
However, this process got a bit tedious, so I decided that it would be
generally useful for NixOS, so this very implementation was born.
Now if you want to chroot a systemd service, all you need to do is:
{
systemd.services.yourservice = {
description = "My Shiny Service";
wantedBy = [ "multi-user.target" ];
chroot.enable = true;
serviceConfig.ExecStart = "${pkgs.myservice}/bin/myservice";
};
}
If more than the dependencies for the ExecStart* and ExecStop* (which
btw. also includes "script" and {pre,post}Start) need to be in the
chroot, it can be specified using the chroot.packages option. By
default (which uses the "full-apivfs"[3] confinement mode), a user
namespace is set up as well and /proc, /sys and /dev are mounted
appropriately.
In addition - and by default - a /bin/sh executable is provided as well,
which is useful for most programs that use the system() C library call
to execute commands via shell. The shell providing /bin/sh is dash
instead of the default in NixOS (which is bash), because it's way more
lightweight and after all we're chrooting because we want to lower the
attack surface and it should be only used for "/bin/sh -c something".
Prior to submitting this here, I did a first implementation of this
outside[4] of nixpkgs, which duplicated the "pathSafeName" functionality
from systemd-lib.nix, just because it's only a single line.
However, I decided to just re-use the one from systemd here and
subsequently made it available when importing systemd-lib.nix, so that
the systemd-chroot implementation also benefits from fixes to that
functionality (which is now a proper function).
Unfortunately, we do have a few limitations as well. The first being
that DynamicUser doesn't work in conjunction with tmpfs, because it
already sets up a tmpfs in a different path and simply ignores the one
we define. We could probably solve this by detecting it and try to
bind-mount our paths to that different path whenever DynamicUser is
enabled.
The second limitation/issue is that RootDirectoryStartOnly doesn't work
right now, because it only affects the RootDirectory option and not the
individual bind mounts or our tmpfs. It would be helpful if systemd
would have a way to disable specific bind mounts as well or at least
have some way to ignore failures for the bind mounts/tmpfs setup.
Another quirk we do have right now is that systemd tries to create a
/usr directory within the chroot, which subsequently fails. Fortunately,
this is just an ugly error and not a hard failure.

[3]: The reason this is called "full-apivfs" instead of just "full" is
to make room for a *real* "full" confinement mode, which is more
restrictive even.

+ isolate etcd on the master node by letting it listen only on loopback
+ enabling kubelet on master and taint master with NoSchedule
The reason for the latter is that flannel requires all nodes to be "registered"
in the cluster in order to setup the cluster network. This means that the
kubelet is needed even at nodes on which we don't plan to schedule anything.
- All kubernetes components have been seperated into different files
- All TLS-enabled ports have been deprecated and disabled by default
- EasyCert option added to support automatic cluster PKI-bootstrap
- RBAC has been enforced for all cluster components by default
- NixOS kubernetes test cases make use of easyCerts to setup PKI
The `| tee` invocation always masked the return value of the
switch-to-configuration test.
```
~ $ false | tee && echo "oh no"
oh no
```
The added wrapper script will still output everything to stderr, while
passing failures to the test harness.
trace: warning: config.services.gitea.database.password will be stored as plaintext
in the Nix store. Use database.passwordFile instead.
(Arguably, this shouldn't be a warning at all. But making it happy is
easier than having a debate on the value of this warning.)
trace: warning: The options services.ndppd.interface and services.ndppd.network will probably be removed soon,
please use services.ndppd.proxies.<interface>.rules.<network> instead.
trace: warning: The option `services.rspamd.bindUISocket' defined in `<unknown-file>' has been renamed to `services.rspamd.workers.controller.bindSockets'.
trace: warning: The option `services.rspamd.bindSocket' defined in `<unknown-file>' has been renamed to `services.rspamd.workers.normal.bindSockets'.
trace: warning: The option `services.rspamd.workers.”rspamd_proxy".type` defined in `<unknown-file>' has enum value `proxy` which has been renamed to `rspamd_proxy`
With this option it's possible to specify a custom expression for
`roundcube`, i.e. a roundcube environment with third-party plugins as
shown in the testcase.

nixos/release-notes: mention breaking changes with matrix-synapse update
nixos/matrix-synapse: reload service with SIGHUP
nixos/tests/matrix-synapse: generate ca and certificates
nixos/matrix-synapse: use python to launch synapse
pythonPackages.pymacaroons-pynacl: remove unmaintained fork

pythonPackages.pymacaroons: init at 0.13.0
Hydra should support multiple Nix versions (and currently contains fixes
to work with Nix 2.0 and higher).
Further Nix versions can be added to the `hydraPkgs` expression in the
test case which lists all supported Nix versions for Hydra.
* redmine: 3.4.8 -> 4.0.1
* nixos/redmine: update nixos test to run against both redmine 3.x and 4.x series
* nixos/redmine: default new installs from 19.03 onward to redmine 4.x series, while keeping existing installs on redmine 3.x series
* nixos/redmine: add comment about default redmine package to 19.03 release notes
* redmine: add aandersea as a maintainer
This is just a set of globs to remove from the active plugins directory
after autoconfiguration is complete.
I also removed the hard-coded disabling of "diskstats", since it seems
to work just fine now.
